Momentary button function of rotary encoder

[ctek69]

A crude way of doing it is to do your code equivalent of the following:

when button pressed (pin goes low or high)
delay 1 second (or whatever you deem suitable)
if, after delay period, button still held down (low or high) then that’s a long press
if not, it’s a short press

Only disadvantage is you always go through the delay period.

Hi derekr

Thanks for your suggestion.

Perhaps I should have mentioned that I have no idea where to start with coding! Is there a useful guide that anyone could suggest I look at to start to learn this process?

I think your idea would be good, but the system is for various people to use who will not be as understanding as you or I might be, and a delay would lead to confusion and double presses.

Many thanks
